Abstract

A motion transmitting remote control assembly has a conduit, a core element, and an end fitting molded about one end of the conduit. The end fitting is generally cylindrical and has a plurality of annular locking grooves and is fitted with an O-ring seal. A connector is molded separately from the end fitting and has snap-lock tabs for attachment to a support structure. A
receptacle extends into the connector from one end thereof and is accessible from above through a transverse passage. The end fitting is insertable axially into the receptacle through its open end to support the connector for rotation about seal between the end fitting and connector. The O-ring provides a fluid-tight seal between the end fitting and connector to protect the core element from corrosive elements. The end fitting is retained in the receptacle by a locking member having U-shaped locking portions that are extendible through the transverse passage into nesting engagement with the locking grooves of the end fitting to secure the end fitting against removal from the receptacle while retaining the relative rotatability of the connector and end fitting. This assembly allows control of tolerances to provide improved rotation between the end fitting and connector by preforming these parts before assembly. Also, a number of difference connector styles may be prefabricated to install a selected connector depending upon the particular end user.
